Good morning an welcome to another wonderful windy Wednesday here in New Zealand. Today is 25th June which is Mid Winter's Christmas here.

No I'm not celebrating today as I have so much going on in our household at present I don't know if I'm coming or going. I was up until 2am this morning still sewing and hand sewing for my son and my husbands PA is going overseas next week so I've been going into the office and working with her as she'll be away next week and I'm meant to be filling in for her. Also I have a son finishing school tomorrow for the term before he sets off for Tihoi Venture School for for two terms about 5 months for school where all year 10 boys go for part of their education. Here's a link here if you're interested as it's totally amazing and now he's getting very excited.

Congratulations to our winners and to our Top 3 cards awesome work everyone.

This week as it's the end of the month we have a blast from the past and our twist this week is Buttons and Bows which a very easy pesy one to follow and isn't hard.

Here is our blast from the past sketch by Sally.

Sketch #210

Here is my card using this sketch which I totally love and looks great finished. I have to be honest after I had ordered this image from Sami, I thought what the heck am I going to do with Christmas Ornaments on a card but I'm so please how it's turned out as I've used two different image two of the same side by side then the second one cut it out and mounted it separately to make it the focal point and all images have been coated with glossy accents to make them look like real glass ornaments.

Here's my blast from the past which we used on 10th June 2013.

Guess what I stuffed up this sketch on both occasions with my ribbon I was meant to put in under the back strips which I totally forgot about even second time around.

Today I'm feeling a little sorry for myself I have a head cold and have a headache and runny nose. Dear hubby came down with it on Friday night but of course he's worse (he thinks) as he has the man flu and not the common head cold like I have. LOL

I'm very passionate about most crafts from Cross Stitch to Card Making. I love Digi Stamps and Digi downloads papers. If I'm not at home I'm sometimes at the office with my Hubby otherwise I'm on the road, travelling back an fourths to my sons' school and on the sports fields watching Football, Swimming Cricket or Tennis.

Otherwise you could find us at our beach house or out on the boat or in my craft room making cards or spending time with my family and friends. We all love travelling so we try to get away overseas each year.
